NICK BLACKWELL’S fatal unsanctioned sparring session required the former boxer to under surgery to reduce swelling on his brain.

The British Boxing Board of Control have since withdraw trainer Liam Wilkins’ licence after overseeing the sparring session whilst also issuing a six-month ban to boxer Hasan Karkardi who went up against Blackwell.
